I am very sorry to post this review but last two weeks I have been waiting way too long for the food I called in ordering it 1 hour before. Last week waited over 40 min and today over 20 min as well. The food is always great and also very polite lady in the counter but this isn’t acceptable. It’s clearly the slowest Chinese restaurant I have been and I have been to hundreds in this country. If it’s busy don’t tell 1h, tell it will take longer, that is not a problem, standing while waiting is. Also when it is running late the minimum is offering a drink or prawn crackers, this shouldn’t even be said by a customer, owners should know this! I have been a customer for a few months now every Friday, I believe I deserve more!

Just had a takeaway from King Wok Theale. It was awful. The chicken was not like chicken at all, dark brown and chewy. The prawns tasted of chlorine, inedible

An excellent takeaway. The only downside is because they are super popular sometimes the wait for food can be a while, but that's a good problem to have.

Top-notch stuff. Been going to King Wok for over a decade now and the quality has only improved. Food, impeccable. Portion size, immense. Flavour, Michelin. Been recommending King Wok to friends and family members and they very much agree. Got to know the owner over the years and our friendship has only floruished. His son (Alec) has been helping out recently so I assume he will be taking over the family business in the near future. Really high hopes for the lad. Promising youth. Vegetarian options: Clearly labelled. Kid-friendliness: Kid-friendly lively atmosphere. The owner is very easy to get along with. Alec interacts amazingly with kids.
